I got screwed, too. I never did get a CP2000 CD. Funny that I got the v.41 SP0 before most knew it was out. There is a SP1 you can install. That's what I did. But, it doesn't matter. My FW1 box is so messed up right now, I'll be reinstalling the OS and FW1 -- then importing my objects/rules. So, at least you're not alone :) Take Care -- Chris --- Greg Winkler <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Caution to readers: I've just got off the phone with > Checkpoint Support and > my blood pressure has yet to return to normal, > please take this into > account before you direct any flames towards me. > > I'm attempting a service pack install of 4.1 SP2 on > top of 4.1 SP0.
